Is the One Piece show on Netflix a good example of Hollywood making anime in a way that fans will like?
The show based on the cartoon One Piece that Netflix made with real people instead of drawings was a big success and most people liked it a lot.
The show centers on a band of pirates who are searching for a unique treasure known as the One pc\.. It resembles a made-up tale that Eiichiro Oda, the author, concocted.
This show seems to be different and better than many others that combine manga and live action, many of which have been subpar. "[It's] a candy-colored confection with childish fun," Variety said.
The Hollywood Reporter said that the series doesn't try to be too serious and it doesn't say sorry for being silly.
The New York Times contributor Mike Hale didn't have positive things to say about the program. It was monotonous and predictable, as he put it. Because it stays true to the original events, this may please fans of the original show. But the show lacks a lot of its excitement and originality, and in its place, a lot of uninteresting events are shown on screen. The show is uninteresting despite having a very lavish and intricate appearance. program is very strange and funny. It is amusing to the author of the article because the subject is aware of its peculiarity.
At first, the excitement and the way the characters get along are really fun to watch. But after a while, some issues start to become more noticeable.
Kayleigh Donaldson from The Wrap liked how the show kept the same feeling as the original One Piece.
The people who made the show did a really good job of making the colorful places and outfits from the anime. They made cool characters like pirates who look like clowns, men who look like sharks, and ships that have lots of different colors. The characters also have cool, punk-like hair colors.
‘’It certainly looks fantastic, just like many anime adaptations do, she continued,,
Sometimes when Hollywood tries to make movies or shows based on anime, they don't do a very good job. People didn't really like the movies they made for The Ghost in the Shell, Dragonball Evolution, and Death Note.
It makes sense that companies keep working to enhance this entertainment category given how popular and lucrative it is worldwide.
People think One pc\. is doing very well because it is such a well-liked show... But someone named Alison Herman didn't like how Netflix is making other shows based on existing stories, like Wednesday, Umbrella Academy, and The Witcher.
"These shows are very popular and a little culturally incoherent," she wrote.. There is a fluid quality to them, they are voracious-friendly, they don't challenge the audience, and belie the realization of true modernity."
Angie Han from The Hollywood Reporter talked about how the show makes its characters feel real, especially the main character Monkey D. Luffy, who is played by Iñaki Godoy.
The main character of One pc\. has lofty goals that others may find absurd, but he doesn't let that bother him in the least.
"It only reinforces the sense that this is all one big, joyous fantasy - albeit one laid out for continuity with the mind of an adult writer," she wrote.
The show started on Netflix on Thursday, and you can watch all eight episodes right away.
